About Chicago Youth Centers
The mission of Chicago Youth Centers (CYC) is to provide high-quality early learning and out-of-school time enrichment in under-resourced neighborhoods to holistically support children of all ages, their families, and their communities.
Since 1956, Chicago Youth Centers ( CYC ) has been the place Where Possibility Lives : a trusted partner on Chicago’s South and West sides, ensuring that kids have a safe place they can go to explore, to discover, to process, and ultimately to envision a bright future that they can create for themselves.
In early learning classrooms, afterschool programs, and summer day camps, youth ages 15 months to 18 years find joy in learning, grow socially and emotionally, and build skills for the jobs of tomorrow.
CYC children are deeply engaged, with many attending our after-school programs five days a week, 48 weeks a year.
CYC operates programs for youth and families from 13 locations, predominantly on the south and west sides of the city. It employs over 120 personnel and had a budget of over $10 million in FY23.
CYC served over 1,300 children in FY23, more than 80% of whom were Black or African American. The organization is growing, having recently opened a new youth center in the Calumet Heights neighborhood.
Recently, CYC completed a strategic planning process aimed at increasing the number of kids served and further enhancing the quality of its programs.
The strategic planning process has been complemented by a capital campaign focused on investing in quality programs, our people, and facilities.
